Gordon Alexander Low, born at Aberdeen on 11th July 1940, was a defender for Town between 1957 and 1961. Arriving at the club from Aberdeen after being scouted by Archie Beattie – brother of ex-Town boss Andy – he had been playing for Powis YC before moving down to West Yorkshire in 1957. He was joined on the journey down to Huddersfield by his good friend and fellow Aberdonian, Denis Law.
Low subsequently made his debut for the club on Christmas Day in 1957, playing in a 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in the old Division 2 under then manager Bill Shankly. In all, Low went on to make 68 appearances for Town, scoring six goals, as he operated from left half, before departing for Bristol City on 16 March 1961.
His career would later take him to Stockport County, Crewe Alexandra and Selby Town, before eventually returning to Leeds Road for some years as youth team coach after hanging up his playing boots.
Gordon Low died on 16th October 2023.
